Nd and Sr isotopic composition of ancient iron‐made artifacts and ores from northwest Russia
Abstract Iron‐made artifacts from northwest Russia, including nails, arrowheads, and brackets used in the 13th–19th centuries, have a wide range of Sr and Nd isotopic composition ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr = 0.710–0.737 and 143 Nd/ 144 Nd = 0.5115–0.5124). Authigenic iron ore sites mined in the region from 10th...
